Oh God, you just made me worried now...
About the next cycle, whether these shows will exist ITTL, or both?

Probably not. I mean, butterflies have likely destroyed the circumstances that caused those shows to exist.
Know that. Not worried there. But are you?
I've never seen either show, so no. In fact, a lot of the shows that are butterflied away (like MASH and the Brady Bunch), I've never seen, so I don't feel bad about their lack of existence.
Well, I don't care much about MASH (Other than the film directed by Robert Altman) or the Brady Bunch, so I share the same feeling.

Think about what I bolded and you'll realize you already answered your question.Bet this cycle will be a big wham episode, on the scale of Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias" and Lost's "The Candidate."

Seriously, the second I saw you compare it to "Ozymandias", basically every bad thing that could happen popped into my head.You are right.

I was wondering if the better economic climate, more population etc means attractions such as RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach do significantly better ITTL?
Several boneheaded decisions regarding the ship were made when she arrived (removing her engines, crappy rewiring, change if use/destruction of rooms etc) as well as general bad management over the years almost caused her to be lost. Can The Queen be saved and thrive on This Wacky Redhead's world please?
Unfortunately, I can't say with any confidence that I'd be able to butterfly the fate of the Queen Mary ITTL, especially with such a late POD.
Well reading a little further than before the Queen Mary was retired after the POD in 1967, many bid for her but the City of Long Beach won and it was to here the liner was brought. However just across the bay is Disneyland at Anaheim - the Corp had plans to build DisneySea at Long Beach but the plans fell through several times (before being built in Japan with a QM replica).
My thought is that Jack Wrather - a local TV/Media/Hotel magnate (he built the Disneyland Hotel) gets involved in Queen Mary from the start. Jack and his wife apparently had good memories of the ship from having travelled on her.
Perhaps Jack can bring Disney onboard for their Disneysea Experience right from the start, or even his own chain and experience can be utilised to stop some of the destruction Queen Mary experienced in the 60's/70's by using QM as a set for TV shows, better development as an museum and resort etc esp if Disney are involved?
...so, what you are telling me is that, in spite of almost 20 years worth of butterflies, IBM, Sega (let alone the Sega SG-1000), and Pokemon are still things ITTL?
Okay, you got me with IBM and Sega (somehow, those slipped my mind)... but still, you gotta give me the SG-1000 and Pokemon; hell, just Pokemon (which caused said mind slipping).IBM was founded in 1911
Sega was founded in 1941
and Pokemon was a childhood dream of Satoshi Taijiri.
Doesn't really surprise me.
